if things are dying like that then your water para is not right, double check again maybe your test kit is expire.

Bring in a water sample we will double check it for you. Your test kits might be off.

I have seen tangs eat corals before that is a possibility. You may also have a zoa eating pest like nudibranches or spiders.

But if other corals are not doing great either I would say a fish is eating them or its a water issue.

I'd bet on amphipods. Seen it happen 100 times. Take a look in your tank few hours after lights out. I bet you find the culprit.
